and now, Sparty, Lucky the Superpickle, thanks you too. i spent a good part of the evening binging back the shine i was able to eek out in the days when i was unlicensed, Lucky still had the texas tags that the po neglected to remove, and that parking lot was my only destination. she seems to run better when clean somehow, maybe it was the weight loss of removing 7000+ miles of road gak.
i have decided to take on as much of the selction process as i can, but reserve the right to ask you to help me narrow it down if the submissions get overwhelming. my first decision as selector is that sparty's idea of before and after shots is brilliant, and especially on a calendar, so all submissions must be two-fold and your cheescake must have a companion pile of cheese and cake shot to go with it.
